[SOLVED] Why does my motherboard have red led light?

Solution
Double check all connections - power supply, gpu, ram, storage, cpu fan... make sure plugs and PCIe devices are fully seated.
Check the cpu for bent pins.


could it possibly be because i dont have a gpu...
...
3700X doesn't have an integrated gpu, so a discreet gpu is required.

Well, either the CPU failed to initialize, is seated badly or your motherboard socket/traces could be faulty.

But as Phaaze said, we have very little to work with here.
We really need a list of all your parts.
